    Mark Lester....think he became a physio or something like that. I think he did have a drink problem.

    edit. just seen sb's reply....Mark Lester definitely hit the drink. Jack Wild aka Dodger also had a drink issue I believe and died quite young, sadly.

    Looks like after 38 year acting hiatus he's back business with 1066.

    Lester will return to acting in the 2015 film 1066, starring as King Harold II.[10] The film will also see the acting debut of his son Felix.[10]

    It's a Swedish film with some parts subtitled but mainly English. A sort of quirky Forest Gump.
